CENTREVILLE, MI (WTVB) — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced on Thursday that a St. Joseph County woman who was charged in connection to filing fraudulent accident claims must pay back the benefits she received.
Christine Presock of Marcellus was charged with six counts of insurance-fraudulent acts following an investigation by the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services Fraud Investigation Unit.
Presock had pleaded guilty as charged last month in St. Joseph County Circuit Court.
Judge Paul Stutesman sentenced Presock to two years of probation and ordered to pay $12,500 dollars in restitution to Trustmark Insurance Company, as well as costs and fees.
Presock had submitted six accident claims on behalf of herself and her family to Trustmark Insurance Company between June 2018 and August 2019 for injuries reportedly suffered by herself, her husband, and her two children. None of the injuries occurred as Presock reported.
Trustmark initiated an investigation into the claims before referring the case to the DIFS Fraud Investigation Unit.
